Low-Dose vasopressin and renal perfusion in pediatric cardiac surgery.

proposed the long-term administration (up to 12 h) of vasopressin in patients with post-cardiotomy vasodilatory shock associated with renal insufficiency (instead of 2 to 3 h in patients with normal renal function), to maintain an improved filtration rate and urine output.[ 27 ] In our study, although the urine output was more in the vasopressin group, it failed to reach statistical significance ( P = 0.14).
